Summary

One in this weekly series that presents original musical
productions, often satirical, tongue-in-cheek
adaptations of classic fairy tales, or spoofs of current
Broadway musicals. In this twentieth-century version of
the Grimm fairy tale, a young woman, who believes she
is Rapunzel, runs away from home after finding her
"prince." The "prince" is really a soldier named Phil.
The affluent young woman's female guardian is dismayed
that the girl may marry below her station, so she calls
out the F.B.I. and the National Guard to assist her in
finding "Rapunzel." Meanwhile, Phil and a friend also
search for "Rapunzel," who is hiding out at the Ostrich
Club where Phil's sister works. During this program the
following songs are performed: "I Get Carried Away";
"Some Enchanted Evening"; "Someday I'll Find You"; "If I
Were a Bell"; "Just One of Those Things"; "Friendship";
and "This is Love." Commercials deleted.
